Multiple Intelligences

Hello,

At first glance this wheel looks like it's measuring the same learning styles as in my first post. If we take a closer look we see that's not entirely true (it is similar though).
This wheel is measuring Multiple Intelligences. "It has been claimed by some researchers that our intelligence or ability to understand the world around us is complex. Some people are better at understanding some things than others."(BGfL-2010) After taking the test myself the wheel on the right is my results, as like with the learning styles test i scored highest in the Logical.
Again like I said in the learning styles post knowing this information about your students would be a very helpful when designing lesson plans. Compared to the learning styles, multiple intelligences will take a lot longer to discover about your students.

For more information about Multiple Intelligences you can research Gardner's eight multiple intelligences, also if you want to take the same test Click Here

My Learning Styles

Hello,

On the right you can see a wheel with seven different styles. Where each blue dote hits the line connected to each learning style is what I scored in each learning style.

As you can see from my Memletic Learning style graph, I learn more logically than any other style and struggle to take information verbally even though my aural learning is average. I think that the test was fairly accurate; anybody that knows me would say I’m a very logical and mathematical person (especially since I major in mathematics and manual arts). Also when I’m given task or problem I always split the tasks or problems in small sequential steps I have to take to achieve my desired out come. I not too sure about the Verbal learning but I have noticed that I struggle to retain knowledge only by listening, I have to write it down some were to make sure I remember it.

It’s important to find out how you learn to optimise your learning, but as a teacher it’s even more important that we figure out how our students learn. If we can figure out how our students learn we can make sure that each student will take in as much information as possible each lesson. That’s not to say that we make each student take a test like this, even though that might help, we should at take note when a student struggle and when they thrive in different situations.
